version: 11.2.0.3 I have 40 services - 10 on each node as preferred. for example: web1 service is preferred on node 1 and available on node2, node3,node4 web2 service is preferred on node 2 and available on node1, node3,node4 web3 service is preferred on node 3 and available on node2, node1,node4 web4 service is preferred on node 4 and available on node2, node3,node1 i can run a service on one node only. (due to vendor XA limitation) Alan, I tried the following: web1 service is preferred on node 1 and available on node2 web2 service is preferred on node 2 and available on node3 web3 service is preferred on node 3 and available on node2 web4 service is preferred on node 4 and available on node1 the problem with this, what if 2 nodes go down? eg: node1, node2 . web1 service will always be offline. can we force the order of service failover?
